  9. Have a good time I may be going to Chessington on Monday, I still can't decide!
  10. Oh that's the sort of sound I was imagining. , It's been a while since I've been on and I swear there wasn't anything last time :PEdit: , also , have they turned up the audio inside the que building yet? Last time I rode it was so quiet and you couldn't make out what he was saying , also you lost the atmospheric, booming bass
  11. I think it's a great bit of theming to be honest, when it works :PI think a sound effect like a scream would work great there as the blood squirts up

    The main thing I would like Thorpe to do , is install an insanely-well themed dark ride. Preferably I would use the same system used on the ride , The Amazing Adventures Of Spiderman at IOA. Realistically, I would use the same coaster type used on Revenge of the Mummy, Universal Studios, (Manufactured by Premier and lets face it, we need a Premier coaster in the UK )Ideas for theming:I think a Mission Impossible sort of theme would work, with on-board audio and plenty of effects such as fire.You would start of, looking up at a screen in-front of the ride vehicle, and you would be briefed for your mission, you then start to slowly meander round immersive themed scenes until eventually "they" spot you and fire at you , the whole vehicle shakes/rumbles and then... the chase is on . You're then "fired" ( LIM launch) towards them, occasionally firing a missile (which results in huge fire effects being set off.)But then , you go too far and they have you trapped, the vehicle is now slowed down again to a crawl and you are given an intimidating talk by the enemy. Then you make a narrow escape by launching backwards and twisting round a few helix's.Your still not in the clear though , and the enemy wants you dead. You then are sped through high speed, highly-banked turns and various airtime hills until... your back and you are encouraged to re-attempt your mission. Literally just thought of this off the top of my head, but really any dark ride would be a fantastic addition to Thorpe Park, the idea above is purely what I would do and to be honest I think it would be a world-class attraction, something needed at Thorpe.
  20. Personally I prefer the first car, I think after you've heard it once, Billy's speech drags on and in the first car it feels like a fast-paced rush out of the warehouse which I much prefer. , Both are good , and it doesn't make much difference as long as your at the front of the car .Edit: I love the little things mentioned in the posts above
  21. Before fastrack came in , I was amazed at how quickly the main que moved. I have only qued once for Saw since fastrack was implemented and that was one of the last rides of the day when I think it had been reduced to 6 cars so I'm guessing that was the reason behind it moving slowly. Good to hear even with fastrack the que still moves quickly and ,compared to other Thorpe coasters ( Naming no names *Colossus* ) , the operations are quick and the que time is relatively short.
